# Attendance tracking

Die Agenturverwaltung offers the option of pure attendance recording to meet legal requirements. If employees only record their attendance and do not make any entries in the time tracking, this can be used to maintain an hours account, but it does not create transparency about which internal efforts were spent on which job. Nevertheless, when the function is enabled both attendances can be recorded (via a button in the main menu) and times can be booked to jobs. However, it would no longer be necessary to book times to internal jobs to fill the hours, since only the times recorded by the attendance recording are decisive for the hours account.&#x20;

## Switching from time tracking to attendance recording

The switch is made via Settings -> Time Tracking -> Enable Attendance Recording

If time tracking is switched to attendance recording during ongoing operations, a deficit occurs in the hours account. The reason for this is that from the moment of the switch, project-related time tracking is no longer taken into account in the hours account. The system therefore has no recorded working times yet, but still subtracts all working days according to the employment contract from the hours account. To balance the hours account, an adjustment must be recorded. This adjustment results from the sum of the hours account BEFORE the switch + the difference after the switch.&#x20;

An example: Maria's company switches to attendance recording. Before the switch, Maria's hours account shows a surplus of 66 hours and 10 minutes. After the switch it shows a deficit of 450 hours. To balance the hours account, an adjustment of 516 hours and 10 minutes must now be recorded. It is now back to the previous level and Maria can track her working time from here using the attendance recording.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dieagenturverwaltung.de/die-agenturverwaltung-en/zeiterfassung-1/attendance-tracking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
